    I can attest to this. My family will constantly complain about racism and discrimination against Asian people, but the they’ll repeat the same discrimination against everyone else, including Asian people lol.

    There’s also conservatives with gay children. While many go ballistic and denounce and abuse them, others rationalize this by thinking “well, my kid was raised by me, and I’m normal, so they’re normal too even if they’re not straight! I’m totally fine with them being gay. But as for the other gays….” For example, Ted Cruz has a bisexual daughter. Shortly after her suicide attempt, she went on social media to say her dad didn’t have anything to do with it and that they’re close. It could be PR, but I believe it. He doesn’t restrict her sexuality, but he also doesn’t bring attention to it and they’re rich enough to be protected in any case. Some conservatives have “spoken out” in defense when their children come out as gay or trans, but usually after the kid has been bullied and they see the first hand effects of their ideology.
